I thought this was an interesting article. Greece and Israel are working together to increase security at the Olympics next year.

'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum" -
well the greeks need all the help they can get to organise the thing..."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
"The most obvious predicition about the future is that it will be mostly like the past" - Alain de Botton -
They better. I'll be dropping by for the first time and I would not like to be disturbed, let alone injured

This is actually no good news. Having the Americans and Israelis help with security is going to draw the attention of all crazy fundies all over the world.
I'm really distressed about that terrorist / counterterrorist thing in Athens 2004. It's like the sheriff and the outlaw having a showdown in my front lawn. I'm afraid of the stray shots.

I don't blame you. Given the state of your security and your own personal hostility to taking even basic measures to improve it, I wouldn't want it either.Originally posted by axi

Just so you know:
Two days ago, a terrorist with an explosive belt was caught red-handed on his way to a high-school in central Israel.
This was following a tip by another terrorist Israel just picked up.
And today (friday / saturday night) I had to change my plans and leave central Haifa, because of reports that a terrorist was reigning free around Haifa with an explosive belt.
I hope you greeks learn all you can
